Let's build another playground
together. |
You are invited to join us in our next playground building project,
which is set for Saturday, Nov. 1, in Detroit. The
Chrysler Foundation, Metro Detroit Dodge Dealers, Chrysler/Jeep Superstores,
Chrysler Financial and the Detroit Community Initiative are teaming
up to build the playground in the Josefiak Playlot, 13151 Grenier,
Detroit (near McNichols and Gratiot roads). Parking on the day of
the build will be provided in a secure lot located on the northwest
corner of Gratiot and McNichols. A shuttle will bring volunteers to
the build site. The construction requires 175 volunteers from Chrysler
to contribute their time and energy to building the playground structure.
